Watching the Sun Rise
Across the Bay

We were out early in the morning and by 6 a.m. we
were sitting down above the beach ready to watch the
sun appear on the horizon. We weren't disappointed. Within 5 minutes
a bright pink glow appeared on the horizon across the bay. Barely a minute
later the sun emerged, pink at first behind the thin low cloud, then rising
above it to give a lovely golden glow, increasing in strength all the time and
gradually forming a path of light on the water.

The pictures below were taken from the same place
as those above, looking across Moelfre Bay and past the old Lifeboat House at Porth
Neigwl.

After seeing the sunrise across the bay, we
walked around the beach and up on to the coastal path. By now, the sun was
casting a warm glow on to everything facing eastwards. The 4 photos below
show Moelfre Beach.

A short distance along the coastal path, the Old Lifeboat
House was almost completely silhouetted by the intensity of the rising sun.

Turning the corner behind the old lifeboat house, we had a
clear view of the sun across the sea. The Seawatch Centre and the memorial
sculpture of Dic Evans are nearby and the photos below show the memorial
silhouetted by the rising sun as well as being bathed in the early morning
sunlight.

Finally, Moelfre Lifeboat Station and views from around
it. The last two pictures were taken either side of the Lifeboat Station,
firstly looking back along the rocks and coastal path towards the village
centre, and secondly the solitude of an early morning fisherman on the rocks
towards Swnt.
